Berkshire Community College (BCC) offers plenty of outdoor recreational opportunities that are open to the public on its sprawling 180-acre campus located in Western Pittsfield, adjacent to the Pittsfield State Forest.
The Paterson Field House, a community gym that hosts a fitness center and locker rooms – also oversees the Paul A. Raverta Tennis Courts, with its four lined outdoor pickle ball courts, and the BCC Swimming Pool. These outdoor activities are open seasonally to folks who have a Paterson gym membership
Next to the BCC Pool and the Paterson Field House is the Gene Dellea Community Turf field, which hosts high school soccer, football, lacrosse and other outdoor sporting activities.
Finally, behind the Ralph Hoffmann Environmental Center on campus is access to the Jonathan Lambert Trail, which is open year-round to hikers, cross country runners, snowshoe enthusiasts, and more. The nature trail wanders through open fields and woodlands with numbered posts along the way that indicate points of natural significance.
